What are the differences between the vanilla and compact install besides the obvious listed at the Debian site? When I installed with the vanilla method (hard drive floppy-less) the console looked fine. With compact, I have this low-res penguin image on top that won't go away unless I go to another console and then back. And the cursor is block instead of underlined. And worst of all the screen is shifted over to the right. I know I can adjust that with the buttons, but nothing else does this.
Yes - the compact kernel image uses the frame buffer options for the console and gives you the benefit of a 80x30 line console (with the beer-drinking penguin)
Look at the command fbset for some options on how to do stuff, or get the kernel source and compile your own.
